The #climate movement is missing something. Despite #transportation being the top emitting sector in the U.S., the key solution of growing biking and walking is too often left out. Did you know that a majority of trips in our country are 3 miles or less? Unlike tech fixes that can feel removed from a democratic movement, biking and walking are empowering and energizing acts that everyone can be part of and enjoy.

Many cities are piloting "Slow Streets" – designated areas with reduced car access to create safer spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. The Oakland, California program highlights positive feedback: - Residents reported feeling safer walking and cycling on Slow Streets. - Increased physical activity due to a more inviting environment. - Potential for a more vibrant and social atmosphere on these streets. Data from a study by the University of California, Berkeley also shows promising results: - Pedestrian traffic increased by 32% - Cycling trips rose by 133% - Air pollution levels dropped by 6% These findings suggest Slow Streets could be a game-changer for urban mobility, promoting healthier lifestyles and a cleaner environment. #Transportation #Sustainability #UrbanPlanning #SlowStreets #Cities #Oakland

This move is not just about cleaner air; it's also giving kids more chances for physical activity and less exposure to pollution. The Ulez is proving to be a game-changer for urban health, showing that big environmental policies can have a real impact. What’s your take on the benefits of clean air zones?

Car-Free Zones ++ [people oriented vibrant environments] Car-free zones are designated areas within cities where motor vehicles are restricted or completely prohibited. These zones can be found in busy urban centers, historic districts, parks, or public squares, promoting a pedestrian-first environment. The implementation of car-free zones has garnered increasing attention as cities look to enhance the quality of urban life. Without the presence of cars, the risk of accidents involving pedestrians greatly decreases. Car-free zones create a safer environment for walking, cycling, and other forms of non-motorized transport, encouraging more people to engage in outdoor activities.

Getting about by bike or scooter at primary age is setting up healthy habits that will last kids a lifetime. But despite all these benefits, children’s “home range” is estimated to have shrunk by 90%. Could a bike train be a way of letting kids enjoy active transport without risking their lives in traffic? #urbanism #liveablecities #auckland #activemodes #bikelife #sustainability #biketrain https://lnkd.in/g_E3vdms
